February 19th is National Whippet Day!

The whippet descends from greyhound roots, probably mixed with ratting terriers. The resulting small dogs could be used for poaching in the royal forests, and for entertainment in snap dog contests in which bets were made on how many rabbits a dog could snap up before the rabbits escaped from a circle. This gave the whippet its first name of "snap-dog."https://vcahospitals.com/know-your-pet/dog-breeds/whippet
